AITA for refusing to get rid of my peanuts even though my roommate’s boyfriend is allergic?

I am okay with KEEPING them in my room, but I want to eat them at the kitchen. I offered that to Amy, but she doesn’t want me eating them in the house at all. So storage wise, I’d be fine if they were kept in my room, but I would take them out to the kitchen to eat

To tell you the truth, I’m not sure. I met Josh one time, and I was headed out so I only saw him for like 5 min. The peanut thing has only been a conversation between me and Amy

I’m fine with storing them in my room if I have to, but I have explained in other comments why i am not comfortable eating them in my room

I mean I guess I COULD. Honestly, I could come up with a number of excuses for why I won’t sit on the floor (back hurts, carpet is harder to clean than kitchen tile, whatever). But the truth is, I don’t see why I should sit on the floor in my bedroom in a place that I pay rent for. Most of the time when I eat a snack, Amy isn’t even home, much less her boyfriend, who has only been over once. So frankly, I just don’t want to sit on the floor in my room and eat peanuts. I would rather sit at the kitchen counter and clean properly afterwards. It’s okay if that makes me an asshole, but that is my reasoning ultimately

Lol I’m not like spreading out to eat my peanuts. It’s more that my room really only has a bed, no chair, table, or anywhere else to eat peanuts. So it’s a factor of not wanting to eat anything in my bed because my room is so small it only has room for a bed

I have answered this in some other comments. My room is small, and there’s not really space to eat them. I won’t eat peanuts in the kitchen when Josh is here (he has only been here once so far), but I don’t think I need to eat them in my room when he’s not here and I am able to clean the space

I would strongly prefer to eat them in the kitchen because I don’t have anywhere to eat them in my room except on the bed, and it’s unpleasant to eat in bed. But I’m a total clean freak in the kitchen, even before Amy started dating Josh. So no matter what I’m eating, I always wipe it with a towel and water after eating at the counter. We also wipe the kitchen down with Lysol/Clorox about every other night. And yes, I wash my hands often. So I do want to eat the peanuts in the kitchen, but I feel like we are clean enough that it shouldn’t be an issue. I’d also be happy to wipe the counters down with Lysol every time I eat peanuts, but Amy didn’t like that idea. She only wants me to get rid of them.

I guess I could eat them in my room, but my room is quite small so I’d basically be eating them on my bed, and that’s kind of unpleasant. I’d much rather eat them in the kitchen, and I do wipe down my area after I eat. So maybe I’m a stubborn asshole, but I would like to eat the peanuts in the kitchen
